Programme Structure

Curriculum:

There are different kinds of courses: for example, theoretical or methodology-based doctoral courses organised by the department or faculty.

There may also be courses taken at other universities, nationally or internationally, or through participation at a summer school, a phenomenon that is becoming increasingly common in the international research community (ECREA’s summer school is one of them). A common course type is the independent study course.
